A-T-4 028 You Can Break Dance Too

1984 is the year of the breakdance craze and officially the peak year for 'learn to breakdance' records. Compilations titled Breakdance in 1984 could have anything on them, some albums contain original tracks, club or pop hits of the day, others are studio rerecords, sound-a-like albums. The funny thing is none of them have any bboy tracks on them, NO BREAKS! it's all electro for the poppers, lockers, robotics, and street dancers? at least The Rock Steady Crew album had a cover of It's Just Begun on it, it's an awful cover but the original is a bboy record. Anyway, all the music below are original compositions

The Wildstyle Club - Everybody Break (B-Boys Version) + (Up-Rock Freestyle Version) this one is from Italy. The tracks are co-written by Tony Carrasco of Klein & M.B.O. et al. The b-side features Spyder-D which is cool

Merrill & Brown – Waterfall Steven "Boogie" Brown was the other half of Snatch with Bernard Fowler (not to be confused with the no wave group Snatch). Fowler & Brown were also in the NYC Peach Boys together and The Smurfs who did Smurf For What Your Worth. The a-side of the record is narrated by Rosey Rose who it says was the choreographer at the Roxy niteclub

Merrill & Brown – Planet Rock the blurb on the sleeve reads Learn How... with this explosive package of breakdance music with vocal instructions. Plus... 50 full-color dance photos, authentic "hip-hop" music, step by step directions

Super Coper & Clarence Breakers - This Is the Way You Do the Breakdance this is a Peter Brown thing which has been reissued recently. I've gone for the 7" edit ,the full length track is almost 9 minutes. I'm thinking the bass line is from an earlier P&P associated production but this time played on a synth, it's going to drive me mad that - I know what it is, it's Gt Down by Horace Andy but that doesn't come out for another year

Mr. Robot - Dancing Like A Robot (Break My Style) following the Rock Steady Crew onto record is Mr. Robot... and here he is performing in the film Breakdance Sensation 84

All Rounder - Break Dance true to his name All Rounder gives breakdance a bajan twist

Alex And The City Crew - Breakdance this is an easy one to find. Alex And The City Crew were a crew from Holland. The a-side is filled with electro hits, Rockit is a rerecord by B.T. & The City Slickers. The b-side has original material and a few of the tracks have instructions. It's worth buying for the poster if it's still in the sleeve (see image below). There was also a video. I'll spare you the music

Larry Wolff & The Streetbeaters – Breakdance out of California, no instructions just all original breakin' tracks. It was remastered in 2021! and it's on Apple Music - you can hear the appeal, nowadays it sounds close to old arcade or early console music and that has a following

The Breakers - Breakdance U.S.A. (The Original Step By Step Method!) this is The U.S. Break Express Dance Team and they narrate moves over versions of popular records from the day like Thriller and Beat It. I can't find any snippets online

Finally here's a breakdancing class on Germany's ZDF

I'm off to watch some breakdance battles
